The Pebble Creek “no name” men’s golf group lost a dear friend and golf partner Jerry Wunderlich to a tragic accident. Jerry was a one of a kind person that valued friendship, playing golf with his friends and the 19th hole comradery. We will deeply miss him and his engaging sense of humor about all things. He will always be with us in spirit every time the group tees it up and gather at the 19th hole.
Jerry was a devoted husband to his wife Sherry. They recently traveled to Norway to celebrate Sherry’s 75th birthday. Family was important to him bringing them on multiple project assignments. He loved doing his grandpa duties with the grandkids keeping up to date with their activities and teaching them to fish, golf, and enjoy fireworks.
He took God’s word seriously loving his neighbor by adopting his golfing buddies Bobby Behr and Arnie Johnson. Jerry was a member of Life in Christ Lutheran Church. He loved to cook and entertain his friends after a day on the links. Jerry was an avid sports fan and NFL team owner. He could talk about the Wisconsin Badgers, Green Bay Packers, and NASCAR with anyone. He loved working for Oscar Boldt Construction back in Wisconsin and Minnesota, but was fortunate to retire early and enjoy the warmth of Arizona. He had many hobbies including fishing, gardening, feeding wildlife, and putting on the most awesome Christmas displays.
Jerry is survived by his wife, Sherry; sons Craig (Donna) Wunderlich of Greenville, WI and Ross (Elizabeth) Wunderlich of Rapid City, SD; daughter Stacy Ostoff of Duluth, MN; daughter in law Lorraine Mickelson of Barnum, MN; sisters Lynn (Tom) Sexton of Elcho, WI and Kristine Wunderlich of Menasha, WI; brothers James (Nancy) Wunderlich of Greenville, WI, Ted Wunderlich of Medina, WI, Mark (Connie) Wunderlich of Appleton, WI, and Neal (Debbie)Wunderlich of Chanhasen, MN; seven grandchildren, Angie Iverson and fiancée Justin White, Adam (Melissa) Iverson, Alex Wunderlich, Luke (Kate) Wunderlich, Andrew Wunderlich , Austin Ostoff, Reece Parks; and three great-grandchildren, Morgan Iverson, Aiden Iverson, and Nora Wunderlich.
